A Pointed Question.

Will Jim Mason obtain the con.
sent of his friend, Major Anderson
to have the Majors letter to Cam
den published? 1t is filed with rare
and radiant promises. The public
has been led to believe that Alder
son opposed Camden from principle
whereas his opposition was born Of
disappointment. What say yot
friend Mason? To publish or not tt
publish, that is the question.

Cleveland and Exenna Fishing.

A Washington dispatch says: The
President did not come in from Oak
View to-day, and Private Secretary
Lamont spent only short time at
the White House. There are symp-
toms justifying at least suspicion
that the President will go fishing
with Senator Kenna, of West Vir-
ginia, before the expiration of the
week. Mr.. Cleveland went ON an
excursion of this kind with Revenue
Commissioner Miller last year. A
season with Senator Kenna would
no doubt stimulate the Presidential
preference for West Virginia fishing
ponds.

In the current number of Harpe,'s

In the current number of Harpea's
Weekly George William Curtis has
an editorial designed to put stop
to the claim Of republican newspa-
pers that his speech at Newport was
AN abandonment of the President on
Che part of the Mugwumps and a
confession that Mugwump confidence
in him as friend of civil service
reform had been misplaced. Mr.
Curtis says of the resolutions adopt.
ed at Newport:
We do not understand that it i'm.
ports either distrust of the President
or regret at the very general support
which he received from reformers in
1884. Nor is it intended, we pre-.
sumo, to intimate that as against
any other probable candidate he
would not be supported by them
again. We do not know a single
friend of reform who regrets his vote
for Mr.. Cleveland, although there
may be such instances in MARYLAND
or Indiana. In the present condi-
ton of parties, we presume that no
body supposes that the course of any
republican President would be more
satisfactory upon this subject than
that of President Cleveland has been
Republican managers, therefore
would make a great mistake if they
should interpret the statement as &
general abandonment Of the Presi
dent.

That republican victory in Ken

twenty-five thousand majority. The
republicans generally win before
elections by buster and brag, but
the solid victories are found to have
been won by the democrats after the
votes are counted.

West Virginia to-day will exceed
any State in the West for grazing

much wheat and corn to the acre as

uneven surface makes it harder to

have the finest coal fields Of any like
area in the world. 1t is the CON
